We’re back with episode 2 of Conversations with Dental Friends 🎙️

This week, I’m joined by the London Hygienist herself — Anna Middleton — to look back on ten years of breaking boundaries in the dental industry. From the highs and lows of building a career and brand, to the realities of burnout, balance, and being your own boss, Anna shares what it’s really like behind the success story.

We cover:

💬 Getting started in dental hygiene

🦷 Expanding your scope with dental therapy training

💼 Stepping into entrepreneurship

♠️ Why dentistry and poker might have more in common than you think

🧠 Protecting your mental health and recognising burnout before it hits

A massive thank you to Anna for such an open, honest, and inspiring conversation. I have no doubt this one’s going to spark a lot of thoughts (and probably a few DMs) — so as always, our inbox is open.
